Chips and Travel and Music

I have made a midyears resolution: I am not eating any more chips. Period. I was on a boat trip out to the middle of a lake, and we stopped in this backwater and ate lunch. While eating, I accidentally dropped a chip into the lake, and then watched in horror as it created an oil slick. Five minutes latter, I looked over the edge of the boat again, and grease was still comming off of it just as fast as it was before, with no apparent decrease in speed or anything. I was revolted, and decided that I didn't need that kind of food, and I have given up potato chips. Don't get me wrong here, they taste fine, it's just that it is disgusting. I have no problem with them health wise (as this post makes it sound I guess) but I was merely revolted, thus no more chips. Laugh all you like. (Jeffrey will thats for sure.)

Today, we traveled from TN to IN. A distance of about an inch on my screen. It took eight hours in the car, and I think I left my AP student handbook at my grandparents house, and I need it to get my scores. Mega major bummer. To make up for that stupid cosmic twist of Fate, Fate granted me cable internet. Wicked fast, and on 24/7. Gorgeous.

On a musical side, my cousin and my cousin's friend played my cousin's friend's music (his own composition. His name was Jeremy, and my cousin is Kate for simplification in later posts if they make it.) They are really good. They left for a recording studio this evening to record some of their music. I should be able to get some m1n15t3r onto my blog here as well, as upload times will be much reduced. I could also put up the latest Xebec song depending on comments.

m1n15t3r

Its a band, or rather a guy, and the name is pronounced minister I think. With a computer. No humans at all, either singing, or playing instruments. Just him and his computer. I am not on my computer, and I don't have all the audio juggling tech that I have at my finger tips on her, so I can't post his song for a while. Bummer. If you like metal kinda stuff, go to http://music.download.com/m1n15t3r/3615-8433_32-100584710.html?Tag=MDL_artist_tab_apsongs for a couple of free downloads. I recommend the Crunch. I am not completely sure how he made this, but I have tried to do stuff like this and it always falls apart as soon as I try to do anything. My most successful attempt was me programming the computer to play specific wavelengths with specific distortion... I got about 30 seconds of really bad sounding noise with a cruddy tick, tick, tick for a beat (I even tried drawing the sound patterns: a horrible failure) before I gave up. This guy is a genius, admittedly he is using different tools and programs, but all the same, this is really cool.

Enough!

That's it, enough. I am not an American, and I am sick and tired of hearing about patriotism and nationalism and the fourth of July, and it isn't even here yet, and it won't be for two days. I am going to go and buy black clothes, black lip stick, black nail polish, and some chains, and wear it all! I am going to embrace the anarchist within me! Of course, I have no expectations that anyone will appreciate any of it, but hey, I feel like expressing myself.
